Goblinz Publishing, renowned for titles like Overboss and Oaken, has launched a new Android game: Ozymandias. This 4X strategy game, reminiscent of the Civilization series, offers players a fast-paced experience focused on exploration, expansion, exploitation, and extermination. Let's delve into the details.
Blazing Speed:
Set in the Bronze Age, Ozymandias allows players to explore diverse Mediterranean and European civilizations. While retaining the core strategic elements of a classic 4X game—city building, army raising, and conquering opponents—it distinguishes itself through its streamlined gameplay. Unlike many 4X games that demand meticulous resource management, Ozymandias simplifies the process, eliminating excessive micromanagement. The result? A remarkably swift and engaging experience.
The game features eight detailed historical maps and 52 unique empires, each with distinct characteristics that demand adaptable strategies. Multiple game modes are available, including multiplayer, solo, and asynchronous options. A typical match concludes within approximately 90 minutes, making it ideal for a quick, board-game-like session. Simultaneous turns further enhance the rapid pace. While some might find this simplification excessive, it's a key aspect of the game's design.
Ready to Conquer?
Ozymandias is available now on Android via the Google Play Store for $2.79. Developed by The Secret Games Company using Unreal Engine 4, it initially launched on Steam for PC in March 2022.
